I CANNOT HANDLE BEING CALLED OUT ON MY DUMBASS OPINIONS ABOUT ANTI-VIRUS AND SECURITY. I REALLY LIKE TO THINK THAT I KNOW THINGS HERE

INSTEAD I AM GOING TO WHINE ABOUT IT IN OTHER THREADS SO MY OPINION CAN FEEL VALIDATED IN AN ECHO CHAMBER I LIKE
 Did you plug int the 6-pin power connector to the graphics card from the power supply? This will be a totally separate cable that should be included with the power supply (possibly with the card itself but I think the power supply)

Yup. Fans for the graphics card turn on so I know power is going to it. CPU is plugged in and is heating up too afaict

If you have onboard graphics, hook the monitor up to it via VGA and ensure you get a display. If onboard graphics works, ensure you've seated the card fully and try a different slot if you have one available (you should).
